<p>ConnectSphere transforms your online courses with video, audio, chat, and screen-sharing sessions via WebRTC. It features a modern, secure, and optimized interface for up to 100 participants.</p>
<p><strong>Key features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Video, audio, public and private chat, screen sharing</li>
<li>Raise Hand button — participants can signal the host during live sessions</li>
<li>Live participant counter</li>
<li>Connection quality indicator (signal bars based on RTT and packet loss)</li>
<li>Dark and Light color themes — choose the one that fits your site design</li>
<li>Leave button — cleanly stops camera/mic and releases all WebRTC resources</li>
<li>Creating a room automatically joins it — no extra click needed</li>
<li>Configurable STUN/TURN servers for optimal connectivity behind NAT and firewalls</li>
<li>Fully translatable (i18n-ready, French translation included)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>Tested up to WordPress 7.0.</li>
</ul>
<h3>New Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Participant counter</strong>: The participants panel now shows a live count of people in the room.</li>
<li><strong>Raise Hand</strong>: New button lets participants signal the host. A hand icon (✋) appears on the video bubble and in the participant list for all attendees.</li>
<li><strong>Connection quality indicator</strong>: Three-bar signal indicator in the control bar, powered by WebRTC <code>getStats()</code> (RTT + packet loss).</li>
<li><strong>Light theme</strong>: New color theme option in Settings > ConnectSphere > Room Appearance. Dark (default) or Light — with a live preview in the settings page.</li>
<li><strong>Leave button</strong>: Cleanly stops camera/mic tracks, releases all WebRTC handles, and resets the room state. Previously, leaving was only possible by closing the tab.</li>
<li><strong>Auto-join after create</strong>: Creating a room now immediately joins it. No need to click “Join” separately.</li>
</ul>
<h3>UX & Architecture</h3>
<ul>
<li>Status ticker now spans full width below the control buttons, no longer squeezed to a few pixels.</li>
<li>Join logic extracted into <code>performJoin()</code> to eliminate duplicated code between the Create and Join flows.</li>
<li>Professional Janus server installation service documented in FAQ and admin settings page.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bug Fixes & i18n</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed missing <code>load_plugin_textdomain()</code> — PHP-side translations now load correctly.</li>
<li>Fixed broken ICE retry paths that referenced undeclared <code>videoroomHandle</code> / <code>textroomHandle</code> variables (now correctly using <code>videoroom</code> / <code>textroom</code>).</li>
<li>Fixed notification sound using a site-root absolute path; now uses the correct plugin URL via <code>connectSphere.plugin_url</code>.</li>
<li>Removed dead <code>wp_ajax_connectsphere_join_room</code> registration (endpoint was never called from the front-end).</li>
<li>Fixed PHP fatal error risk: apostrophe inside single-quoted string in capabilities check.</li>
<li>All remaining hard-coded French strings in PHP and JS replaced with English base strings wrapped in i18n functions.</li>
<li>Added missing CSS classes: <code>.unread-badge</code>, <code>.new-message-highlight</code>, <code>.disabled</code>, <code>.hand-raised</code>.</li>
<li><code>plugin_url</code> added to localized JS data; removed unused <code>ajax_url</code> / <code>nonce</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>1.5.0</h4>
<p>(2026-04-25)</p>
<h3>User Experience & Admin Ergonomics</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shortcode Quick-Copy</strong>: Added a dedicated “Usage” section in the settings page featuring a one-click copy button for the <code>[connectsphere_room]</code> shortcode.</li>
<li><strong>Copy Feedback</strong>: Integrated a visual “Copied!” confirmation using WordPress native Dashicons for a better user experience.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Internal Logic & i18n</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>JS Dependency Update</strong>: Added <code>sprintf</code> to the <code>wp-i18n</code> imports in <code>connectsphere.js</code> to support complex dynamic translations.</li>
</ul>
<h4>1.4.0 (2026-04-24)</h4>
<h3>Internationalization (i18n) & Localization</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full Multilingual Support</strong>: Added <code>Domain Path</code> for native translation.</li>
<li><strong>wp-i18n Integration</strong>: Scripts now explicitly depend on <code>wp-i18n</code> for secure string translation.</li>
<li><strong>String Standardization</strong>: All UI messages harmonized to English for global compatibility.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Improved Resilience & Performance</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Aggressive Reconnection Logic</strong>: Reduced reconnection timeouts from 15 seconds to <strong>4 seconds</strong> for both <code>videoroom</code> and <code>textroom</code> plugins. This ensures much faster recovery after network drops.</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced Connection Stability</strong>: Refined the Janus initialization flow to handle session drops more proactively.</li>
<li><strong>Version Bump</strong>: Updated to 1.4.0 to force cache refreshing for all assets.</li>
</ul>
<h4>1.3.1 (2026-04-24)</h4>
<h3>Sécurité & Stabilité</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Renforcement de la sécurité (Nonce)</strong> : Correction de la faille de vérification des jetons de sécurité dans l’administration. Désormais, les réglages sont protégés par <code>check_admin_referer</code> pour prévenir les attaques CSRF.</li>
<li><strong>Optimisation du chargement des scripts</strong> : Les fichiers JS (Janus, adapter.js) et CSS ne sont plus chargés sur tout le site. Ils sont désormais injectés uniquement sur les pages utilisant le shortcode <code>[connectsphere_room]</code>, améliorant drastiquement les performances du site.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Interface & Responsive</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full Responsive Design</strong> : Refonte complète du CSS pour mobile et tablette. La grille vidéo et la barre de contrôle s’adaptent désormais parfaitement aux petits écrans.</li>
<li><strong>Z-Index Fix</strong> : Ajustement de la profondeur de l’interface pour garantir la visibilité des menus de navigation WordPress au-dessus du salon vidéo.</li>
</ul>
<h4>1.3.0 (2026-04-23)</h4>
<h3>UI Overhaul, Ad-Free & CSS Refactoring</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Removed all integrated advertisements</strong>: Banners and marketing popups are now gone for a 100% professional experience.</li>
<li><strong>New Activity Log Ticker</strong>: Replaced intrusive “Toast” notifications with a sleek, terminal-style status bar in the control panel.</li>
<li><strong>Cyber-Terminal Aesthetics</strong>: Implemented scrolling marquee effects for system messages to prevent blocking the video grid.</li>
<li><strong>CSS Refactoring</strong>: Completely reorganized the stylesheet. Cleaned up legacy notification styles and unminified key components for better maintainability.</li>
<li><strong>Layout Stabilization</strong>: Fixed the 100vw horizontal overflow bug and optimized control bar responsiveness using modern Flexbox.</li>
<li><strong>Cleanup</strong>: Removed unused DOM manipulation logic from the JS core to improve performance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>1.2.0</h4>
<h3>Enhanced screen-sharing support with explicit media direction</h3>
<ul>
<li>Replaced generic <code>media: { audio: true, video: true }</code> with precise recvonly settings.</li>
<li>Now explicitly sets <code>audioRecv: true</code> and <code>videoRecv: true</code> while disabling local capture.</li>
